Keree Lawr was a female Bajoran and an official with the Bajoran Provisional Government. In 2372, Keree chaired a committee which heard evidence from Kira Nerys and Ro Laren on their recent investigation into the Bajoran black market. Keree thanked Kira, but not Ro, as the Bajoran government was unwilling to recognize a member of the Maquis and risk the recent treaty with the Cardassians. Keree ordered Ro to leave Bajor and not return until the Maquis was disbanded and its leadership brought to account. Ro retorted that the treaty with the Cardassians would not last.
